Two Watchers

Gooseberry Island is a challenging place to shoot. It has numerous large boulders, but it is very chaotic and hard to draw the eye meaningfully. This pair of light-toned boulders seemed to point toward the sunset and made for an effective composition.

The Light at the End

This is another shot from Gooseberry Island. This was taken a bit before the sunset. The clouds were just amazing, so I knew I had to start shooting early rather than just wait around for sun to go down. Since the sunset colors hadn't arrived yet, I felt a monochrome would work well at bringing out the textures in the pebbles and clouds.

Loblolly Convergence

Loblolly Point in Rockport, MA. Although the sunrise forecast was pretty solid here, at first I was worried because I saw only clear sky. These clouds swept in pretty fast, though, and it ended up being pretty interesting.
Originally my intention was to get closer to the water and get some of that wave-crashing good stuff. But the water was pretty mild despite the wind, and I saw these pools that appeared to complement the clouds pretty well, so this is what I went with. I'm pretty happy with the result.

Beavertail Initiation

My first time at Beavertail State Park. I've heard a lot about this place and seen a lot of impressive images, so it was time for a visit. It did not disappoint. It was a challenging place to shoot, though, mostly because where you might want to be is often inaccessible due to the cliffs. My usual strategy of getting low to the water was giving me some trouble, but I did eventually find a spot where I could do this. I think next time I may simply try and approach the shot differently.

Fall Seascapes

Two Watchers

It's been a difficult year for me. Due to a personal crisis I wasn't able to stick to any of my planned trips this year. I also missed all the fall foliage. However, I'm now getting back into the swing of things. I have been out for a few sunrises and sunsets the past month.

The Light at the End

The first two images are from my return to Gooseberry Island (or Point, I've seen both). It was a spectacular sunset.

Loblolly Convergence

Loblolly Point in Rockport is an interesting spot I've been wanting to get to for a while. The sunrise ended up being quite unique and special. I was fortunate to be there.

Beavertail Initiation

Finally, I made a trip all the way down to Jamestown, Rhode Island, to visit the amazing Beavertail State Park. This place has some of the most awesome rocks I've seen in New England.

I have some interesting waterfall images coming up next update, and lots of plans. I'm trying to get out every weekend now.
